AVG introduces “Do Not Track” feature
March 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
AVG Technologies launched its active “Do Not Track” feature to the mainstream Internet security marketplace.
AVG’s additional new and active “Do Not Track” feature brings online privacy control to mainstream consumers by informing them and offering the choice to block tracking directly or turn it on and off as desired.
New customers who purchase AVG’s 2012 product and current customers who update AVG’s free and paid 2012 consumer security products with the new Service Pack will be automatically protected from sites and networks that invade their online privacy. At the same time, users can modify this default setting from within the user interface -putting control firmly in the hands of consumers.
Another new Service Pack feature is WiFi Guard, offering protection from unknown WiFi access points. Laptops that are set to automatically connect to any available WiFi network are convenient when roaming, but can expose users to security risks. After installing AVG’s 2012 Service Pack, a pop-up window automatically warns users if their device attempts to connect to a never-before-used public WiFi access point.
The Service Pack for AVG 2012 is available for free from www.avg.com/download for the following products:
– AVG Premium Security 2012
– AVG Internet Security 2012
– AVG Anti-Virus 2012
– AVG Anti-Virus FREE
